Anotations

Scope note:

Institutions that provide tertiary education but do not have full or independent university status, often part of a larger university. The designation varies from place to place, but in British and formerly British educational systems, such an institution of higher learning does not have the authority to award its own degrees. Students enrolled at a university college ordinarily receive their degrees from a recognized university. In due course, a university college may be granted university status.
